'I'm a completely different person': Mizkif reacts after FaZe Silky bans him from FaZe's 4th July party
(Image via X/@yoxic) Twitch streamer Mizkif is once again in hot water, but this time, for being banned from FaZe Clan's hyped 4th of July party. FaZe's Silky publicly called him out for past 'racist' behaviour, pulling the plug on Mizkif's invite. But Mizkif isn't fighting back. Instead, he's owning his past and calling himself a changed man. Silky Pulls the Plug on Mizkif's Invite It all started when Mizkif was set to attend FaZe's massive Fourth of July party, with fellow streamers like Ludwig, QTCinderella, and even Plaqueboymax expected to be there. But things took a turn when FaZe member Silky made it clear that Mizkif was not welcome. Live on stream, Silky didn't hold back, saying he had no interest in 'weird people' and didn't want someone with a 'racist past' at the FaZe House. The invite, originally extended by FaZe's Lacy, was publicly revoked. Mizkif's Response: 'I Get It' Unlike what you might expect, Mizkif didn't throw shade back. In fact, during a recent stream, he said he understands where Silky is coming from. 'I don't blame Silky for what he said... It's understandable ,' he admitted. He didn't deny the past. In fact, he leaned into it. Mizkif admitted to saying dumb things when he was younger, just like, according to him, ' everyone else in the industry back then .' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Joyful Cirque Spectacle GCE Read More Undo But his main message was this: That's not who I am anymore. 'I Was 22. I'm 30 Now.' Mizkif addressed the elephant in the room directly—his past use of racial slurs. 'I said this sh** when I was twenty-two,' he confessed. 'But I'm a completely different person than what I was when I was twenty-two.' He also pointed out the hypocrisy that many content creators have a messy past. Without naming names, he mentioned FaZe Banks and others, suggesting that growth is part of being online for years. Mizkif Destroyed by Faze Silky.. Banned.. Mizkif Responds.. Fans Are Divided (As Always) Twitter, Reddit, and Twitch chats are all split. Some people are backing Silky's move, saying there's no excuse, ever. Others believe in second chances and feel Mizkif has shown enough growth over the years to deserve one. No word yet on whether Silky and Mizkif will actually talk things out. Mizkif says he's open to a conversation—but the ball's in Silky's court. One thing's for sure though: this drama has put FaZe's 4th of July bash on everyone's radar for reasons no one expected. Whether Mizkif ends up at the party or not, the real fireworks have already started. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

Maa Box Office Collection Day 1: Kajol's Horror film Opens With Rs 4 Crore
Last Updated: Kajol returns to the big screen with Maa, a mythological horror thriller directed by Vishal Furia. The film opened with Rs 4.15 crore on its first day. After a three-year break from the big screen, Kajol returned with Maa, a mythological horror thriller directed by Vishal Furia. The Day 1 numbers are finally in. According to early estimates by Sacnilk, Maa opened with a respectable Rs 4 crore on its first day. Not bad for a genre that's still pretty niche in Bollywood. As per early estimates, Maa earned Rs 4.15 crore on its opening day. The report also highlights that the film recorded an overall Hindi occupancy of 16.49 per cent on Friday. Morning shows started slow with just 8.23 per cent occupancy, but numbers picked up by the afternoon, reaching 20.08 per cent. The evening shows saw a further boost, clocking in at 21.16 per cent. A part of the review of Maa by News18 read, 'The concept and story have substance, but the film lacked largely because of its style of storytelling. Besides, the film also has a lot of stereotypes that could have been done without. Besides the exaggeration that the palace had a almost 30-feet tall Kali maa's stone carved statue, the way people from Chandrapur talk in the film, everything seems to be a cliche that all the Bengalis would be running away from. It only gets disappointing to see Ronit Roy, who plays a vital part in the film, deliver all his Hindi dialogues with such a heavy Bengali accent. A lot would argue that it is not how people from Bengal speak when they talk in Hindi." In Maa, a mythological horror thriller, Kajol takes on the powerful role of Ambika, a fearless mother who will stop at nothing to protect her daughter from dark, supernatural forces. The film blends myth and mystery, marking Kajol's first foray into the horror genre. Alongside her, the cast includes Indraneil Sengupta, Jitin Gulati, and Kherin Sharma. Directed by Vishal Furia, Maa is backed by producers Ajay Devgn and Jyoti Subbarayan. First Published: June 28, 2025, 11:20 IST
